I checked in settings and the problem is i not have any update available for my phone , last security update 1 February 2019. When i press search say not any available, what i can do?
Old devices might never get an update as well,so if you can afford a new one just go for it with latest oxygen version so you will be safer to the vulnerabilities as long as you verify any apps before installing.

Well, the problem is not old device, it still works ok but who know, they have problem with Google and not receive any further update. You reffer me to install a custom OS?

Over a year with no update is likely that devs stop working on updates or already reached the possible updates that can apply to your phone model. That's normal even for the latest model and to verify this you need to interact with their community. In most cases, it should have an announcement. Try searching for your phone's community in XDA.

Actually, either you are using Stock or Custom ROM, it doesn't matter with regard to security. Just take note of the basic things needed regarding the security of your phone. Malware or any type of harmful and malicious software will not be triggered automatically unless the user will execute it, maybe because they don't have an idea of what they are dealing with.

The majority of Custom ROM doesn't really upgrade you into the genuine version of an updated OS. It was ported to feel the experience of having an updated OS while at the same time, tweaking your phone model performance by removing bloatware and adding some enhancements. It also gives you the ability to modify CPU performance by overclocking and allowing you to install a Custom Kernel.

The great advice should be "stop using android, it's not trusted enough", but what would be the alternative!?
...

A good solution to this problem is to switch to iOS) But we know that not everyone owns an Iphone, so the most common is Android. You just need to be aware of all the risks associated with installing apps and be responsible about what you want to install on your smartphone.

Not everyone (including myself) could afford a fruit product, but I reckon this should keep us safe from harm

Like suggested in previous replies, there does also exist open source operating systems for mobile {honestly,i was surprised know that i can ignore the actual ones} and that users looking for free mobile use can really get this. I still encourage users to have more experiences testing different ones. I wish i can read more opinions about those free systems.

You can. Here are some links to get you started:

https://github.com/GrapheneOS/

LineageOS

Replicant

https://ubuntu-touch.io/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Linux/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/

There's also a couple of great "Beginner's Guides" available here: https://www.androidauthority.com/lineageos-install-guide-893303/ and https://www.howtogeek.com/348545/how-to-install-lineageos-on-android/. They are written with Lineage OS in mind, but are largely applicable to any custom OS. They nicely talk you through the processes of installing the necessary software on your computer, downloading the necessary software for your phone, backing up your phone, and flashing your phone.
